IMMIGRATION MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS
via telehealth in Florida, South Carolina, & Vermont
I provide Immigration Mental Health Evaluations for individuals who are worried about immigration issues and are filing for any of the following: Asylum, Extreme Hardship, VAWA (Domestic Violence) or U/T Visa. I will communicate with your immigration lawyer or paralegal and provide them with a copy of the completed evaluation which consists of 15-20 pages that demonstrates (when applicable) the psychological, physical, financial, and emotional impact of separating families or a traumatized immigrant from safety through deportation.
-
Asylum Cases
Explaining psychological reasons why a client missed the one-year filing deadline; and detailing how PTSD symptoms provide evidence of the persecution suffered.
-
Extreme Hardship Waivers
Identifying unique factors contributing to a client’s psychological distress such as: illness, disability; professional, financial, or academic hardship; or adverse home-country conditions that would affect the petitioner or their family members.

VAWA Cases
Detailing the client’s psychological symptoms which are common for domestic violence victims; assessing credibility; and where useful, explaining less common phenomena such as ways in which men are abused by female partners.
-
U Visas
Assessing the degree to which the client has suffered mental abuse; detailing any unique factors that add to the severity of psychological damage; and assessing the extent of any permanent or serious harm to mental soundness of the client, including aggravation of preexisting conditions.
